Oregon Environmental Council

Oregon Environmental Council brings Oregonians together to protect the water, air, and land we all share and love. We advocate for impactful, lasting solutions that get at the source of Oregon’s environmental problems and have real benefits for people’s health and quality of life. Our goals are a stable climate that safeguards our communities and economy; clean and plentiful water that supports people, fish and wildlife; and healthy homes and neighborhoods free of air pollution and hazardous chemicals. Founded in 1968 by concerned Oregonians across the state, Oregon Environmental Council is a membership-based, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with a long record of success and a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. Oregon Environmental Council works to create innovative change on three levels: we help individuals live green; we help businesses, farmers and health providers thrive with sustainable practices; and we help elected officials create practical policy. To achieve a future where every Oregonian is thriving in healthy environment, we strive for equitable environmental policies and practices that give everyone a fair shot at acting on their environmental values and being a part of environmental decisions that affect them. Oregon Environmental Council offers a collaborative, team-oriented, family-friendly workplace that treats employees as the responsible professionals they are.
